Which Way Nigeria??? Unbelievable by pafra(m): 8:29pm On Sep 07, 2016
Some say Buhari brought hardship to this country, but I have not forgotten that our Judiciary has not sent one person to jail despite the public acknowledgment we have seen and heard of how the monies stolen were shared. The legal practitioners have made frantic efforts to ensure no one has gone to jail just like the judiciary have refused to prosecute, just like the NASS have refused to help block the leakages within the legistative arm.

Our journalists daily come out with headlines that confuse and disunite rather than unite Nigerians despite efforts by many Nigerians to want to help the situation and move this country forward. A typical sensational headline I have read this morning was that which said BUHARI HAS NO ECONOMIC TEAM. After reading through the story, I did not arrive at a single sentence in the entire story that even implied he said that. Next to it was BUHARI ADMITS TO RUINING NATION'S ECONOMY. That too after reading, nothing came close to the headline in the entire story. Should this Government try to take action against such liars, they will shout freedom of press. Is freedom of speech a right to tell people lies? I do not know.

Our captains of industries are busy doing their own. A simple road contract will take ages to finish as they give excuses why they cannot do the jobs they asked or bidded to get. They want to ensure projects fail and not succeed. They do so in romance with those in charge of giving them the jobs. Nigerians who occupy public and private sector offices seem built to enjoy failure. We hardly celebrate success. We hardly want to be associated with it.

The BRING HIM DOWN SYNDROME in the country is beyond imagination. Even your next door neighbour wants to ensure you fail at what you do. Your colleague in the office is doing the same. Your classmate at school enjoys to see you fail in your course or subject of study. Our culture of hate, jealousy, envy, malice and avarice has reached unthinkable heights.

Negativity has become our daily fantasy. We look for why things should not work instead of why things should work. We look for obstacles instead of clearing the impediments on our routes to success. The market woman is finding reason to increase her price of akara. The cattle rearer is finding reason to increase price of his cow and looks out for the dollar to gain more value. We are more capitalist than the actual capitalists (Americans and Europeans) that even introduced us to modern day capitalism. Unless we change, we will sink ourselves into the deepest confusion, poverty, wretchedness, inhumanity and loss that no man has ever seen. God Bless Nigeria.

You're right op, the main problem is with us the people.

Op, everything the people do, depend on the policies of government.

Let the government do what is expected of it and see the people leave calmly.

How many American musicians have you heard singing about government? Reason: their government is at least responsible.

Op: Get abreast with the workings of government; the judiciary does not prosecute! That is the job of the executive through law enforcement agencies with prosecutorial powers and under the supervision/powers of the Minster of Justice. The judiciary/judges/courts will not also send every person to jail arbitrarily or merely on public acknowledgement when the executive is fond of doing shoddy jobs and is usually unable to diligently prosecute its cases. The court deals strictly with cold, hard facts, evidence and rules of law and practice. It is not enough to accuse, they must also prove!

The problem with this so called fight against corruption is that Buhari n crew only believe in command and control; u and they forget that institutions need to work to effectively play their roles and so he ought to have ensured proper, democratic reforms of the investigative and judicial institutions to ensure effective prosecution and attendant punishment of offenders within the ambit of the rule of law. No guilty person will roll over and play dead, fact! It is therefore the role of the state to ensure that institutional measures are in place and all loose ends tightened so that accused persons do not slip through wide cracks.

Finally, Buhari and crew are as dirty and corrupt as any person they claim to investigate; perhaps even more so. That is the reason they refuse to strengthen institutions with relevant infrastructure, training and independence so they too can cheat/circumvent the system. He is not holier than anyone and has not even the slightest whiff of integrity to lay claim to. So, get with the program, get real and smell the coffee.
